The WSO Conference planning committee distributed an agenda questionnaire that CIIG is “entitled and urged” to return to let them know what we think WSO Conference delegates should spend time discussing. The questionnaire covers 22 issues, and is an agenda review, not a final vote on motions or amendments. The links below provide details about the questionnaire and the proposed motions.

Short summary of WSO Agenda Questionnaire (1 page) – overview of proposed motions, including new 12th Step Within Day, new definition of Abstinence, and new service requirements. Meeting reps can bring this short form to the next CIIG meeting to provide Yes/No vote preferences. To assist in determining which proposals may require referral to the Reference Subommittee, please write concerns or questions on the back of the sheet.

At the Nov. 4th meeting, Intergroup voted to cancel the December meeting (based on low attendance). The next meeting will be Tuesday, January 6, 2009 from 7:30PM – 8:30PM.

All meetings are encouraged to send a rep to each Intergroup meeting. If you have time to join us—once a month for one hour—please consider offering service so your meeting will be represented. We want to know what you want Intergroup to do for you and your meetings. All are welcome.

Intergroup meets at the Washington Mutual bank office at the corner of Carpinteria Avenue and Casitas Pass Road in Carpinteria. It is across the street from the middle school. Look for the clock tower and the ATM, and you’ll see the door. It’s on the side of the building, facing Casitas Pass.

The Channel Islands Intergroup is the service body that supports local area groups. The intergroup is made up of representatives from each group it serves and is managed by a board of officers. All members are welcome at every intergroup meeting and service opportunites remain.
